> So what are the best arguments in favor of the MZ-S? I find one of best features of MZ-S is separate AF button. I'm surprised that it is so seldom pointed out. I set AF activation on separate AF button only while leaving exposure metering on shutter release button. I love this setup. Simply it puts the photographer in total control of focus. After few days of familiarizing with new setup I really started to appreciate it. No need to keep shutter release halfway down anymore. When focus needs to be changed simple push on AF button does it with no fear exposure or anything else will change. It is easy to prefocus and then wait for the right moment to fire the shutter while still being in AF mode if needed. It can feel just like handling a manual focus camera it I want to.
I remember having problems while I was looking for windsurfing shots with my MZ-3. It followed a surfer easily until I took a shot but then AF started hunting for focus again because there was only the see in the area covered by AF sensor since the surfer jumped into the air. The result was I could not shot another frame. I had to move to manual focus to solve that. No such problem with MZ-S and separate AF button because it doesn't focus if you don't press the button.
